Community: Las Candelas raises $90,000 for children

Las Candelas celebrated the donation of $90,000 to organizations that help emotionally disturbed children at the installation of new officers recently at the home of member Fran Buchanan.

The event culminated the two-year term of President Monica Sierra. Under her leadership, the group donated funds to Hathaway-Sycamores, Hillsides, Glendale Healthy Kids, Glendale YWCA and the Didi Hirsch Center.

Las Candelas members also volunteered nearly 400 hours to these facilities during Sierra's term.
